Perusing the program on the charter plane from Los Angeles to Montrose were Jason Reitman, Palme d’Or winner Bruce Dern (“Nebraska”), film critics Scott Foundas, Leonard Maltin, Joe Morgenstern and Todd McCarthy and filmmaker Mark Cousins, who is showing a documentary about children in film.

The Coens will be attending the fest for the first time, along with Robert Redford, as both are getting the Telluride Tribute treatment.
